ENGLISH TRANSLATION
ON THESE PAGES:
Be merciful, please L-rd our G-d, with Israel
Your nation, and with Jerusalem Your capital
and with Zion the
abode of Your Presence
and with the kingdom of the House of David Your
anointee, and with the magnificent, sacred edifice Your Name resounded
over. Our G-d, our Father: shepherd us, support us, sustain us,
provide our livelihood and welfare, relieve us quickly L-rd our
G-d from all our troubles. Prevent us, please L-rd our G-d, from
needing the favor or handout of mortal beings, instead of Your
full, extended, sacred and wide-open hand, so that we should never
feel shamed nor debased.
